Other Comments

It may be a little hard to find this app. For me I just searched scanner radio & found this one by accident. And it doesn't take very long to install. There is something to be aware of however. If anyone uses there iOS. device in landscape orientation this app is in portrait. I'm one of those people & it took me a second to adjust. You don't have to sign up for an account. Another thing to be aware of is that the app tracks your location to provide the near me feature. In the brief time I've played with it, I've grown to love this app. If you want an app that's free, accessible, has an easy user-interface & no ads this app is for you!

Once you install it on your device it will show up as just scanner.

When it's installed on your device, it's simply called scanner.
